Heart

Heart of Sturgeon is firm muscle for thin grilling or gentle braising. Mild iron note when fresh. A nose-to-tail piece. As a heart section of offal, portion for even cooking and clear labelling. Keep sturgeon heart iced until cooking; pat dry for browning, and stop when just opaque. Smoking, grilling steaks, and confit suit the cut. Season with salt, acid, and fat that frame dense almost boneless texture.
